“It was almost like going back to university,” says Jonathan Anderson of creating the costumes for Luca Guadagnino’s film Queer, with Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey. It's the second time Anderson teams up with Guadagnino: his first costume design work was seen earlier this year in tennis-themed film Challengers, starring Zendaya.
Fashion designers creating clothing for film is not new. Take Yves Saint Laurent’s costumes for Belle de Jour or Givenchy’s for Breakfast at Tiffany’s through to Prada working on The Great Gatsby and Romeo & Juliet. In most cases, star designers are not responsible for every character’s outfit, though Anderson, in both films, dressed the entire cast. “Luca wanted a 360 vision,” Anderson tells Simon Chilvers (

With Luca, it is about every type of nuance, and especially in Queer because everything is so painterly, and you’re trying to work out what is real, what is not.”
